Manes Bridge

Mánes Bridge is one hundred and eighty-six meters long and sixteen meters wide. There used to stand so-called Rudolph´s footbridge in the past here which was constructed between 1868 – 1869. The bridge which replaced it is a work of the engineers František Mencl and Alois Nový. The architect was Mečislav Petrů. The bridge was opened in 1914 already however the construction works were over two years later. The road surface used to be paved originally, the pavements were decorated by mosaic paving. Unfortunatelly the both paving types were replaced by asphalt in the 1960s. Finally it proved to be an unlucky solution and so the asphalt surface was completely removed after 1992. #bridge #Czech_Republic #Google_SketcUp #Manes_Bridge #model #Most #pera #Prag #Prague #Praha #Vltava_river
